Chapter 1010 Hidden Easter Eggs
Walking through the lively red carpet, Eric took the girl to sign autographs in front of the photo wall in the theater hall, and then walked to the lounge where the main creators and guests of the theater were temporarily waiting.
Most of the people had already arrived, and when they saw Eric and Drew appear, everyone greeted them.
Eric hugged the three Charlize girls in gorgeous dresses one by one, and praised with a smile: "Girls, you are so beautiful today."
Looking at the man whose wealth and power have become more and more unattainable these years, the three Charlize girls feel that the scene where Eric was caught on the spot by secretly smoking seems to have been a long time ago, and inevitably some Sigh.
Both Charlize and Penelope know that the past cannot be recalled, and those charming memories may never happen again, and they were very polite and respectful towards Eric.
The actual character is by no means the same as Selena, the three-none girl in the film, looking at the girl who is holding Eric's arm affectionately, but with a touch of sourness, she couldn't help saying: "Eric, we are still girls, but you It's getting more and more old-fashioned to speak."
Listening to Kate's obvious tasteful tone, the expressions of everyone around were a little weird for a while.
Over the years, Eric has gradually found that he is not suitable for the kind of day when a bunch of women are gathered around him.
In Hollywood, where there is no shortage of beauty resources, the sexy goddesses who used to be sought after by countless men have no sense of mystery about Eric, and even ask for anything, and gradually become a little numb. He also deeply understands why Hollywood and fashion circles There are so many gays.
At this time, Eric could only pretend to ignore Kate's sour tone, and joked: "This is impossible, I am a big man now."
Everyone laughed softly, and Kate also realized that what she had just said was out of place, but she just rolled her eyes slightly.
Everyone exchanged friendly greetings for a while, and the staff began to notify everyone to enter the screening room.
Although Eric still holds the title of screenwriter and executive producer in this sequel, he does not plan to take the stage today. He is just a guest to watch the interaction between the main creators and the audience.
This continued until seven o'clock, when the lights in the hall dimmed, and the screening of the film officially began. Everyone in the scene turned their attention to the big screen.
After MGM's iconic opening sequence, the scene quickly cuts to a disco with deafening music blaring.
Lucini, played by Penelope, swoops through the crowd in a gleaming short skirt, her sexy body slid like a fish around a few brawny guys who clearly look like thugs.
The sound of zizi electricity suddenly sounded, and a helpless voice said: "Lu'er, stop playing, hurry up and help."
Lucini looked at the camera on the ceiling in the corner of the disco, pressed the wireless earphone in her ear, and then raised her other hand to show a walkie-talkie in her hand: "Isn't this helping, there are so many messes here. Fish, we'll be in trouble if we flood up together."
Saying so, Lucini walked all the way to the stairs in the corner.
Compared with the carnival on the first floor, the second floor seemed to be more 'lively'. There were thugs lying all over the corridor, looking disgusted as they passed the crowd of corpses. There was a sudden loud bang at the end of the corridor. The door panel flew out.
"Tsk, this is really violent." After a 'cold war', Lucini unceremoniously kicked the moaning strong man on the ground unconscious, and walked into the office at the end of the corridor with the door already destroyed .
In the office, Selena, played by Kate, stood coldly in the center of the room in a strong suit.
A chubby middle-aged man, like a little girl who is about to be raped, curled up in the corner, begging for mercy quickly without pausing: "There are twenty thousand dollars in the cupboard, and I have a credit card password in my wallet. If you want, you can take my suit too. It's from Armani and it can be sold for a lot of money. I bought the watch in Italy. I'm just an accountant and don't know anything. Don't kill me..."
in the theater,
The audience couldn't help laughing at the look of Wayne Knight, who played the hapless programmer in Jurassic Park.
"Why do I feel like I've been robbed of my lines?" Lucini also walked up to the fat man with a smile, telling a cold joke that fans of the Charlie's Angels series could easily dissociate from, and then said, "Mr. Muldoon, Don't pretend, tell me where the safe is, or I'll let her ask?"
Lucini said, pointing to Selena behind her.
Hearing Lucini calling out his real name, the fat man instantly put away his begging expression, and involuntarily glanced at a painting on the wall, but his expression was a little sly.
Suddenly, a voice came out of the headset again: "The desk seems to be moved frequently, so look away."
Hearing this, Lucini reached out and pushed the mahogany desk beside her. The desk seemed very heavy, but Lucini only exerted a little force, and the desk slid aside, revealing a safe embedded on the ground.
"Hey, do you guys know what you're doing?"
Seeing Lucini's action, the fat man suddenly became very excited, his face fiercely bounced off the ground, only to be hit by a sharp elbow from Selena, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
At this time, Jill's voice sounded again in the earphone: "Someone came up, many people."
Lucini, who was half-squatting on the ground to check the safe, looked up and met Selena's gaze: "Buy me for two minutes."
Selena nodded slightly, and walked out of the office abruptly to meet the large number of thugs who rushed to the second floor.
The plot has progressed here, in fact, less than two minutes have passed.
Originally, it was just a scene where a rogue was indirectly thrown out of the office door by the powerful Lucini. Some fans at the scene were a little disappointed, thinking that there would not be too hot fighting scenes in the prelude this time.
However, in the next three minutes, accompanied by the hot music in the disco downstairs, under the cool montage editing, Selena once again showed her powerful skills to the fullest.
In the end, when Jill, played by Charlize, drove a helicopter, and hoisted Selena and Lucini who had completed the mission, they flew into the distance under the bright lights of Los Angeles, and all the fans in the screening hall couldn't help but be hooked.
Even some conservative critics who are not interested in action movies can't help but nod to this carefully set prologue.
It's just the five-minute prelude, and these film critics feel that the producers have spent a lot of thought, not only the carefully crafted action design, but also the scenes of the three heroines are arranged just right. The unique style of the Charlie's Angels series is vividly displayed.
Although the great fusion of the special agent movie universe has been opened, in order to avoid the aesthetic fatigue of the audience caused by the homogenization of styles, the three series all maintain very distinctive features.
007 focuses on all kinds of high-tech props and Bond's tough gentleman style, and of course there is no shortage of Bond girls with all kinds of styles.
The "Mission Impossible" series pays attention to challenging the limit, and uses all kinds of plot settings to tighten the audience's mind.
Although the last "Charlie's Angels" is the three protagonists, Selena's toughness, Jill's genius, and Lucini's often unbearable thoughts are all firmly engraved in the audience's impression.
In addition, there are a series of small details such as Buick sedans, Dad's terriers, etc., coupled with the perfect world view background setting, the characteristics of the "Charlie's Angels" series can be said to be the most distinctive.
After the prologue, after a few minutes of opening, the plot finally entered the theme.
John, the contact person played by Morgan Freeman, received the information the three girls got from the fat man, and did not explain much to them, but told the three heroines that due to the incident on the British island last time, the detective affairs He may have gotten into some trouble. In order to ensure the safety of the three girls, the behind-the-scenes boss, Charlie, needs them to take shelter for a while before solving the trouble.
Seeing this, most viewers realize that Charlie's Detective Agency is undoubtedly provoked by the Spectre Party, and some more sensitive fans think of the shattering of Charlie's holiday hut at the end of last year's "007 Casino Royale". Easter eggs, you can roughly guess the next plot trend.
Detective Charlie's attempt to solve the trouble has clearly failed.
What followed was a ten-minute play.
Under the arrangement of the detective agency, all three girls got a job of disguising their identities.
Jill was assigned to an Internet company, and all day long, he listened to the incompetent boss, who seemed to be possessed, to brag about the company's listing prospects, and at the same time, he had to be wary of the salty hands of the other party from time to time.
Lucine works as a waitress at a top restaurant, enduring the temptation to shove those expensive silver cutlery into her pockets.
Selena works as a salesperson at a clothing store and is often mistaken for a mannequin.
Although it is a literary drama, the strong contrast between the three protagonists and their actual identities gives all the audience a sense of substitution, so it is not boring at all.
On the other hand, the disco that the three women broke into in the opening prologue is actually a Spectre stronghold in the United States.
The document the three girls got from Fatty's safe was actually a list of Spectre members.
Detective Charlie's agency tries to cooperate with the FBI to wipe out the Spectre party once and for all to solve the trouble that the agency has inadvertently caused.
Although the operation was successful, everyone still far underestimated the potential strength of Spectre.
The people on that list are still just a peripheral branch of the Spectre Party.
Then, it was the scene in the "007 Casino Royale" easter egg. Charlie, the behind-the-scenes boss of the office, was retaliated by the Spectre Party. The three women heard the news and staged the transformation of the big devil together in their respective 'jobs', and then rushed to Going to the rescue, all you see is a holiday hut that was bombed to ruins.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Charlie Townsend.
Now that the conflict between the two sides has already formed a deadly feud, Charlie arranged for the three girls to continue to investigate the details of the Spectre party.
During the subsequent tracking process, the three women had a misunderstanding with another team of agents who were also investigating Spectre.
This is, of course, the Impossible Task Team led by Ethan Hunt.
After a confrontation, the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved. Under the guidance of the clues given by Ethan Hunt, the three women once again fought to another base of the Spectre Party for the final battle of this sequel.
After careful analysis, the plot setting of this sequel is not too elaborate, the standard high-concept movie mode.
However, with the support of the complete background and world view of "Charlie's Angels", combined with the interludes of the other two series, as well as countless praised easter eggs and foreshadowing settings, the fun for the audience is far more than that of other individual scripts. There is not much background and background. Popular high-concept movies of the same type.
Just like this sequel, in the final battle with Spectre, Eric set up a very secret easter egg, and a document with "Stumbling Block Project" appeared on the desk of the villain in this episode.
Although the relevant footage was only swept away, Eric believes that this hidden easter egg can eventually be unearthed by enthusiastic movie fans.
"The Stumbling Block Project" naturally leads to the "Bourne Bound" series.
As for this plan to appear on the desk of the Spectre villain, it is not a forced plot.
According to the original novel, "The Stumbling Stone Project" was learned by the villain of relevant information, which eventually led to the leakage of the entire plan, the disbandment of the group, and Byrne's incognito.
Therefore, it is natural and reasonable for the more powerful and intertwined Spectre Party to obtain information on the stumbling block plan.
After defeating the enemy of this sequel, at the end of the film, there will naturally be no shortage of regular easter eggs to preheat the "Mission Impossible 3" at the end of the year.
Although in recent years, some film critics have criticized the Agents Cinematic Universe series for excessive use of these "little tricks".
But there is no doubt that, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, these small tricks have gathered a lot of popularity and attention for the entire series.
In all fairness, the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies are definitely not too good. Most of them are just mediocre popcorn special effects blockbusters.
But they used this series of ingenious commercialization methods to condense the popularity of all the series in the whole plan, and finally obtained the effect that one plus one is far greater than two, and achieved a huge business that makes all film companies envious success.
This "Charlie's Angels 3", whether it is the quality of the film or the promotion of the film, MGM has done the best possible. From the super high production cost of 1.6 billion US dollars, the company's excellence can be seen. Therefore, the premiere Li also naturally everyone succeeded.
After the film ended, the lights just came on, and there was warm applause in the hall of the theater.
After the creators took the stage again to express their thanks, the premiere officially ended.
Eric showed up briefly at the next premiere party with the girl and left early.
Observing the reaction of fans and critics at the premiere today, Eric has no worries about the film's box office prospects.
The next day, at Jiaojiao Manor, when Eric woke up early in the morning, Eric got the news that "Charlie's Angels 3" broke the box office record of midnight in North America without any suspense.
In the restaurant, a girl wearing a vest and hot pants was lying at the table, looking at the box office data report in front of her, her tone was extremely excited: "$12.5 million, it's really amazing, it's much higher than "The Matrix 2" $2.5 million."
Eric was holding last week's box office data. Looking at the girl's complacent appearance, he poured cold water with a smile and said, "There's no need to be so complacent. The "Star Wars" at the end of the year will definitely set this record easily. ."
"Hehe, I don't compare it with the Star Wars series, but I heard that the internal test effect of the first prequel was not good at all. It is said that Queen Amidala's appearance is very ugly. Lucas this time It might be screwed up."
